The Very Hungry Caterpillar
The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Caterpillar's journey to beautiful butterfly transformation.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has a kind of magic. Its vibrant, hand-painted illustrations and simple, yet profound narrative about growth resonate deeply with children and adults alike. It's not just a story; it's an educational experience that subtly teaches counting, the days of the week, and the life cycle of a butterfly. It's a classic that feels fresh with each reading.

Description

The all-time classic story, from generation to generation, sold somewhere in the world every 30 seconds! Have you shared it with a child or grandchild in your life? One sunny Sunday, the caterpillar was hatched out of a tiny egg. He was very hungry. On Monday, he ate through one apple; on Tuesday, he ate through three plums--and still he was hungry. When full at last, he made a cocoon around himself and went to sleep, to wake up a few weeks later wonderfully transformed into a butterfly! The brilliantly innovative Eric Carle has dramatized the story of one of Nature's commonest yet loveliest marvels, the metamorphosis of the butterfly. This audiobook will delight as well as instruct the very youngest listener.
